4 CARRIAGE-CURTAIN 'WINDOW.

Application filed April 1, 1918.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLIFFORD G Eisner, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Piqua, in the county of Miami and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Carriage-Curtain Window, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to a frame for securing a window pane in a carriage curtain.

Objects of my invention are to provide a carriage curtain frame of the indicated class fication in which similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts in all the. views. V

Figure 1 is a front view of a carriage eurtain window embodying my invention; Fig.

'2 is-a rear view thereof; Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line 33,'Fig. 2.

My improved window is adapted to be applied at an opening in the usual curtain material 10. The frame comprises a rectangular front frame section 11 and a rectangular inner or back section 12. The section 11 extends around the curtain opening at the front while the rear section 12 extends around said opening at the back of the curtam.

The rear frame section 12 is channeled. as at 12 the channel form extending at three sides. The fourth side of the frame section 12 is open for the entrance and removal of the glass 13. The open side of the channeled back frame section may be at either end or at the top or bottom, but preferably, at an end thereof whenever the position of the Specificationof Letters Patent.

. ner and outer members 12, between which the glass 13 is snugly accommodated to be entered in the top and bottom channels 12* of the back frame section and directed to the opposite end channel.

On the front frame section 11- are formed tongues let at all sides of said frame section, and these tongues which are bendable, are forced rearwardly through/the material of the curtain 10 and bent about the edge of the back frame section and against the rear surface-of the latter, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

By the above described construction, those fastening tongues 14: at the open side of the rear frame section serve the double function of fastening the rear frame section in posi- 13 is to bend the tongues let at the open side away from the plane of the glass. 0r, the

complete frame may be removed from the curtain by bending the fasten ng tongues 14 at the several sides of the frame, I- thus provide a frame which may be secured in position and the glass subsequently inserted, thereby minimizing the possibility of breaking the glass during the fastening of the frame- Also the bearing of the fastening tongues, is against frame parts and not directly against the glass.

The front frame section, in the-present example, is shown with transoms and mullions l1, and the back frame section with similar members 12.

Having thus described my inventioeil claim as new, and desire to secure ters Patent:

1 In a carriagecurtain window, a front frame section and a separate rear frame section, said rear frame section being channeled form at three sides, the fourth side being open and presenting separated dow glass, the said front section having bendable tongues at the edges thereof to ex tend through the material of the curtain, :said tonguesbeing bent around theedges of the rear frame section and against the back of the latter, those tongues at the open side of the frame extending across tin rid open side to retain the glass against displacement.
